Nowadays, people cannot help but stay glued to their tablets and smartphones. Even when we try to relax outside on a sunny day, we feel incomplete without our personal devices in our hands. Well the USB-Charging Solar Market Umbrella may just be the perfect accessory for those of us who wish to use their devices outdoors.

The umbrella includes four 10″ x 4 1/4″ solar panels which can capture solar energy from any direction. The panels are woven into the umbrella’s 9 foot diameter canopy and convert the captured solar energy into electricity which can be used to charge your devices via two USB portals at the base of the umbrella. And in case the weather gets cloudy, the umbrella even has a 3.7-volt/1000mA battery that acts as a backup, providing continuous power for your devices.

The umbrella’s finish makes it weather resistant and it can withstand gusts of wind. With the ability to block 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, this lawn accessory is perfect for those of us who wish to enjoy the great outdoors and our tech toys, simultaneously. For those wondering who much this luxury costs, well the umbrella costs a hefty 500$. Would you buy it? Tell us in comments!
